Bay Path University announced Tuesday its plans to acquire Cambridge College, bringing together two private Massachusetts nonprofits focused on career education. The colleges expect the deal to close this June pending accreditor and regulatory approval. Cambridge intends to keep its program costs the same and to continue to award degrees until the two institutions are fully integrated, which could take up to two years, officials said. After the acquisition, Bay Path expects to enroll more than 5,000 students. The two institutions are similarly sized, with nearly 2,500 students attending Bay Path in fall 2022 compared with about 2,100 students at Cambridge.
